Why must all books on novel writing be total gloom, doom, and nay saying? I understand, really. I know all too well how much life sucks and that I will never be published. Why on earth must they club me about the head and eyes with it? I read them for advice and encouragement, not endless pages of depression; I can get that from my own mind, and I wouldn't have to pay twenty bucks for it.

I wrote a novel. Did I ever tell you that? I wrote a novel. It's a…
I know the only thing I'll most likely ever have published were high school paper articles and the town hall meeting summaries for my small town news paper. But I still write stuff. And if someday I make it more than 50 pages into something and actually figure out how to wrap up an ending maybe I'll have someone look at it if I get a chance. Otherwise I think it is good to write for the sake of writing.
So take the constructive advice from those books and let the rest go in one ear and out the other
I have a question. Do you think an ending should be already sort of established in your mind early on or it should come as you are getting toward the end? I have always wondered what is the better way to go about it. Sometimes I try to make it like a debate case and outline everything first.
